How to use an iPad with a mouse or trackpad?
In the iPad, the basic style is to touch and operate the display.However, if you use a mouse or trackpad to operate a personal computer, you can operate it with a "pointer" displayed on the screen.[See the detailed operation procedure in the image] Here, let's check the basics of using a pointer and customizations of related setting items.
How to connect to the device

To use mice and trackpads in the iPad series, the iPad is iPados 13.It must be after 4 or later. Specific devices include iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 or later, iPad (5th generation) or later, and iPad mini 4 or later. First, about the mouse. Looking at Apple's official help page, there are two main types of mice assumed on the iPad. One is a type of product that can be used by Bluetooth connection, such as the genuine genuine Magic Mouse. The other is a USB mouse that can be connected with a USB cable. If you use a mouse with Bluetooth connection, first put the mouse switched to pairing mode and place it near the iPad. In that state, open the "Bluetooth" item from the iPadOS standard "Settings" app, select the device you want to use and connect. How to make the device into pairing mode vary from device to determine the description of the instructions. When the Apple Magic Mouse is paired, it is stated that if a code entry is required, four zero will be entered like "0000". On the other hand, if you want to connect a USB mouse, connect the iPad and the mouse using an appropriate cable or adapter. It is also possible to support products that connect using a USB receiver. For the connection method, check the manual on the mouse side. Next, about the trackpad. The Apple's official help page describes how to connect the genuine genuine "Magic TrackPad". First, it was confirmed that the power of the Magic TrackPad was turned on and was charged. Next, select "Bluetooth" from "Settings" on the iPad and select the trackpad displayed on the "Other Device" list. However, if you have already paired Magic TrackPad on other devices such as Mac, you need to release that pairing and connect to the iPad. By the way, select "Apple menu (upper left apple mark)" → "System environment setting" → "Bluetooth" for the Mac to release the Mac, select the device, and click the device while pressing Control key. That is. On the other hand, if a device that connects using Smart Connector, such as Magic Keyboard for iPad, has a trackpad, no special pairing operation is required. If you attach it to the device, you can use the keyboard and trackpad immediately.
